Enjoy crispy, homemade potato chips made effortlessly in the air fryer. This recipe uses thinly sliced russet potatoes soaked in salted water for extra crispiness, then air fried to a perfect golden brown. Serve with your favorite dips for a delicious snack that’s healthier than traditional fried chips.

  • Total Time: 1 hour 5 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

Potato Preparation

  • 8 cups cold water
  • 1 tablespoon Kosher salt
  • 2 large russet potatoes, sliced to ⅛ inch thick

For Cooking

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt to taste

For Serving

  • Fresh parsley, chopped
  • French onion dip
  • Chip dip (your favorite)
  • Ketchup

Instructions

  1. Prepare the salted water: Pour cold water into a large bowl, add 1 tablespoon kosher salt, and stir until the salt dissolves completely to create a brine.
  2. Slice the potatoes: Thinly slice the russet potatoes to about ⅛ inch thick to ensure crispiness when cooked.
  3. Soak the potato slices: Submerge the sliced potatoes in the salted water and soak for 30 minutes to remove excess starch for crunchier chips.
  4. Dry the potatoes: Drain the potatoes from the salted water and thoroughly pat them dry with paper towels to prevent sogginess.
  5. Preheat the air fryer: Set your air fryer to 330°F and preheat for 5 minutes to ensure even cooking.
  6. Coat the potatoes: Place the dried potato slices in a large bowl, drizzle with 1 tablespoon olive oil, and toss well to evenly coat each slice.
  7. Arrange in air fryer basket: Layer the potato slices in a single, even layer inside the basket to avoid overlapping and promote crisp results.
  8. Air fry the potatoes: Cook at 330°F for 20-25 minutes or until they reach your desired level of browning, shaking the basket halfway through cooking to ensure even crispiness.
  9. Season and serve: Once cooked, sprinkle with salt to taste, garnish with fresh chopped parsley if desired, and serve immediately with French onion dip, chip dip, or ketchup.

Notes

  • Soaking the potatoes in salted water helps remove excess starch and improves chip crunchiness.
  • Make sure to dry the slices thoroughly before air frying to avoid soggy chips.
  • Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket; cook in batches if needed for best results.
  • Shake the basket halfway through cooking for even browning on all sides.
  • Adjust the cooking time slightly based on the thickness of your slices and your air fryer model.
